the Union after sad interruption and restored
them to the brotherhood in which they had
found noble and honorable career In years
to come | am sure nothing but continued and
increasing growth and development await the
people of Tennessee, constantly adding to the
Splendor and Importance of her capital city.
Upon the conclusion of his address the
President was recOnducted to the rotunda
of the Capitol, where he received the pub
lie. Strong military lines We're placed from
the entrance to the exit, to which the peo-
pie passed rapidly and with good order
throughout.
OFF FOR THE DEPOT.
Thousands of people passed through, and
a few minutes before II o'clock, when it
was time to depart, a long line still stretched
away, apparently unending. At the Max
well House thousands of ladies were re-
ceived by Mrs. Cleveland and each taken
by the hand until the time of departure cut
the ceremonies short. Mrs. Cleveland and
her escort took carriages and at Vine street
wSre joined by the President a4d his party,
and long procession escorted them TO the
train Here again several thousand people
packed all the adjacent streets and wildly
cheered the party as they passed. Promptly
at II O'Clock the train pulled out for Chatta-
nooga amid the shouts of thousands and the
waving of handkerchiefs. The assemblage,
in numbers, enthusiasm and good humor

A STINGING REBUKE.
During the Presidents reception while
many poorly dressed people, evidently
farmers and workingmen and women, were
passing before him Mr.. Cleveland admins
tered stinging rebuke to number of we'll
dressed people, who having been presented
had stepped back of him and were MAX
ing unkind remarks touching the personal
appearance of those passing along i'll the
front. Hearing the remarks and laughter
the President said: ''These good people are
here out of respect to me. | am not willing
for you to make sport of them. 1t is not
right" The laughter and comment ceased
WE VOTE AS WE MOB.
Excuse our mob, " said Secretary Ridley,
of Nashville, to the President as the latter
boarded the special train. 1--WE vote as we
mob" The occasion was one of most en-
thusiastic disorder. The time of departure
was fixed at IL o'clock, but there was plead
ing for more time and a compromise had
been made upon II o'clock Mrs Cleveland
arrived at the train twenty minutes before
its time of leaving, and a large multitude
came on foot behind her carriage. The
President came from his reception at the
Capitol ten minutes later, and an irregular
army of people came also with him. The
military kept the masses back for time, but
many had been denied the coveted chance for
a close view of the President, and the pres
sure was something enormous. There were
anxious inquiries for the remaining mem
bers of the party, and it was proposed to
pull out and start on ahead of time, for the
endearments of the people were becoming
threatening. The police and military kept
order on one side of the train, but on the
other the people climbed upon every pro-
lection, peering into the windows, cheering
and GIVING vent their enthusiasm in bn
widest manner.
BROUGHT IN IN STATE.
DR.. Bryant and Mr.. Bissell were on time
but had difficulty in reaching their car.
They were finally brought in in great state
with the escort of an entire military COM
pany The pilot train pulled out at once
and the special followed with but few
minutes interval, the crowds breaking and
following as long as they could keep up by
running. The members of the Presidents
party, without exception, brought away
from Nashville happy memories of the hos
pitable city. Not only had the citizens
made elaborate preparations for the public
welcome to the President, but an especial
entertainment of one kind or another
seemed to have been provided for each one
of his followers. Mrs Clevelands car was
half filled with beautiful bouquets by friends
she had never seen before. The last moment
before the departure a gentleman brought
in and presented, as a more lasting memento
of her visit, "a costly lap-robe, artistically
embroidered and lettered, TO President
and Mrs. Cleveland" The run from Nash
vile to Chattanooga was delightful.
CHATTANooGA's ENTHUSIASM
CHATTANOOGA. Oct 11.-Upon arriving
at the Chattanooga Union depot, one of the
largest in the South, the Presidents train
was greeted by a mass of humanity that
filled the building to OVERLOOKING. As the
train pulled in it was greeted by the boom
ing of cannon and shouting and cheering
from the vast multitude. 1t was with
difficulty that the police kept order and a
way open from the Presidents car to the
platform. The President and his party were
met by a reception committee. Mayor
Sharp escorted Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland to
their carriage. The city was thronged with
people, who came from East Tennessee,
North Georgia and North Alabama,
fully 10000 visitors being in the
city. A drizzling rain set in
about 2 o'clock, and the crowd, fearing that
the programme arranged by the COMMITTEES
could not be carried out, thronged to the
depot which was packed with curious
humanity eager to get a glimpse of the
President The city was profusely decor
ated with bunting and flags, and four large
arches were erected ON Main street, sur
mounted with portraits of Mr.. and Mrs
Cleveland and painted notices, 'All Hail
to the Chief and Nv elcome to the Gate City
of the South All along the line of march
private residences We're profusely decorated.
The Presidents carriage was handsomely
upholstered with satin plush and was drawn
by four cream-colored horses, preceded by
mounted escorts Notwithstanding the
rain, which fell continuously, the line of
march arranged was carried out, with the
exception of a visit to the historic heights of
Cameron Hill, from which the Federal
forces during the late war shelled the enemy
on Lookout mountain. The visit to that
point, owing TO the weather, was abandoned,
much to the regret of the President and
Mrs Cleveland.
NO STOP AT THE PLATFORM.
A large platform appropriately draped
and arched and bearing patriotic notices
had been erected at the court house, where
it was intended that the Mayor should
formally welcome the President and his
wife, but owing TO the lateuess of the hour
and tho rain this was abandoned. The
drive about the city was not barren of in
terest. All along the streets tue procession,
which was composed of nearly 100
carriages, was greeted with cheers and
shouts of ''Hurah for Grover Cleveland y
Men and women along the route pressed for
ward in the rain to shake hands with the
President and TO every one he graciously
held out his hand, receiving many God
bless yousn from sincere hearts. When the
party arrived at the depot it was 5l5
